What My Cross Is Made Of.

Jesus said “take up your cross  
and follow after me 
I’ll prepare a place for you 
where you can live eternally

He promised he would be there 
even though there’s just a few 
And so my cross is made of 
The things I need to do...  

What my cross is made of 
is something I cant hide 
For in my life I’m teaching 
Just why the Savior died.. 

And so the seed was planted 
And there grew a mighty tree 
And faith became the mighty tool 
that formed the cross for me . 

And so the pages of the bible 
Were also made of wood 
We read about mount Calvary 
Where an ancient cross once stood 

What my cross is made of 
is something I cant hide 
For in my life I’m teaching 
Just why the Savior died.. 

I show the world everyday 
Just what the lord can do 
But some turn and walk away 
They say it isn’t true . 

But I keep straight and narrow 
Someday they’ll understand 
What my cross is made of 
will take me to promised land

What my cross is made of 
will be a robe of white someday 
Because hand in hand with Jesus
I’m on the straight and narrow way
